Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use four different Nintex forms on a SharePoint site as part of our intake process for other departments to submit requests for reports, dashboards, PDF and other data related projects. As an example, The Measure and Visualization Change Request form is submitted to request a change to a measure artifact (Business Case, Measure Specification Document) or to a data visualization product (Interactive dashboard, map, excel interface). The form must include all required information and any relevant supporting data artifacts, prior to the change being prioritized.
